From cloncurry we headed west towards Mt Isa and into the Northern Territory. As you approach Mt Isa you go through a nice mountain pass which was most unexpected. And one of the many trucks we past. Then as you enter Mt Isa the mining industry is right in your face. I’ve seen photos of…
Well the day started out really well. I spent time thinking as I rode across the open flats how small we are in comparison to the hundreds of thousand ofgalaxies that are out there. And at our current speed of travel in space it would take us 150 thousand years just to reach or nearest…
Today I was venturing into new territory. The roads are getting straighter. The trucks are getting longer. And the towns are getting less frequent. Many of the roads I traveled on were quite lonely with little or no traffic. I was fascinated with the number of large cactus trees around. There was quite a lot…
I love new roads. I love exploring where they take me. I love the different places, towns and scenery they take me through. I love the new experiences they present me. So a couple of months ago a friend posted on a long distance riding forum that he wanted to have a beer with some…
Sometimes it pays not to think about stuff to much. And just be grateful for a good outcome. This weekend I went for a spin to Gunnedah with my daughter Emma to meet her Fiancé who was riding down from Qld. As this was her first BIG ride it was a pretty cruisey affair. Ride…
I remember a few years ago a friend telling me after a trans Australian run where he ran out of fuel that the big kawa’s only have 100m left to run after their first splutter. I hoped I wasn’t going to put that to the test. But I’ll get to that later. One of my…
After a last minute call up on Thursday for motocomm duties for the Grafton to Inverell cycle race. I had to make a quick trip to Grafton. With limited time I opted to slab it straight up the freeway. Sorry but freeways are not travelling they are for covering large distances quickly, completely devoid of…
Flying into Sydney it was interesting to look out the window and observe the Australianness of our cityscape. We’re home. I know that in no time at all, the trip will be but a distant memory so I thought I’d reflect on my own limited observations of traveling to the US. This trip has covered…
Thursday represented our last full day on the Stampin’ Up! trip and in the US. While Deb spent the afternoon shopping with the girls I went shooting with a few of the boys at a local gun club. After 30 minutes or so of safety talks and instruction on the various weapons we were taken…
Well the last couple of days been very full on in all sorts of ways. .!! On Wednesday they gave us a tour of the Stampin’ Up factory which is at the bottom of Utah, so they chartered a 757 to take us there. The closest airport was St George airport. I’m glad they didn’t…
